That's pretty much how it was for three of my friends. Funny enough, it happened when they lost their high paying jobs and were forced to take lower paying jobs (the IT industry has been getting shafted hard these years.) All of a sudden the carnival wasn't fun anymore and these low-life parasites kicked them even harder by taking what was left.
Both my parents are divorced, and remarried. Years later they got back together but are now seperated again. so basiclly I got to see many people go through the bitter divorcee stage. :duck: For anyone to say that they did not see a divorce coming is complete BS. Men and women both file for divorce and in my family it was even. My grandparents on my step mothers side have been together for over 50 years and counting. They have told me Marraige is a financial agreement.(They were married during the depression, and had to work together to move up in life.) Until the notion of romantic love came along marraige was seen just as that. As for the dads who make babies and then don't want to pay for them. They need to learn to use a condom. Because I as a taxpayer do not want to be picking up the tab on that child. So I have no problem with child support. My own father interestingly enough did not want to pay child support for the longest time. He associated it in his mind with giving money to his ex verses paying for the stuff we needed like school lunches. But because he did not pay and my mother could not make enough on her own(before she married again) we were in the free lunch and breakfast program. My father still owes back child support and I was glad when my brother sued him for it a few years ago.
